Dive Koh Phi Phi

Phi Phi Shark Point

Hin Bida, or Phi Phi Shark Point, is a submerged rocky outcrop, approximately 8 kilometres south of Phi Phi Leh island. The north side drops down to sand at 21 metres, and the south to 18 metres.

This Shark Point (every dive destination around the world seems to have one) is famed for its leopard sharks. If you don't see them swimming past on their own errands, you will see them sleeping peacefully on the sand around the reef.

Whilst on this rocky reef of soft corals, anemones and and barrel sponges, you'll see schools of blue-lined snappers and harlequin sweetlips, amongst the colourful featherstars, plume worms and crinoids. You can also enjoy searching in the crags for moray eels, black and white banded sea snakes, porcupinefish, boxfish, lobsters and red octopus.
